Trump Wasn’t on the Primary Ballot in Georgia. He Still Won.
In the recent Georgia primary elections, Trump-endorsed candidates showed significant strength, indicating his continued influence within the Republican Party. Burt Jones, the lieutenant governor and Trump ally, led the GOP primary for governor but will face a runoff. Other Trump supporters also advanced in various races, while notable Trump critics, including Brad Raffensperger, were eliminated from contention.
- ▪Burt Jones received roughly 40 percent of the votes in the GOP primary for governor.
- ▪Brad Raffensperger, who previously refused to find votes for Trump, garnered only 15 percent of the vote.
- ▪Trump loyalist Rep. Mike Collins performed well in the race for the Senate, advancing to a runoff.
